It's a lot better than season 1 or 2. But its still no where near where even season 1 of tng was.
I just want an optimistic view of humanity's future where they do moral plays on the problems of today. And so far in all 3 seasons of picard they've failed that.
I actually kinda like TNG season 1, as cringey as it gets.
Yeah PIC was just action and melodrama.
@startrekexplained @keeb420 I forced my way through PIC S1 last year but abandoned it when I discovered SNW. I cannot with chaotic plot arcs threaded everywhere and shoehorned cliffhangers that turn out to be insignificant. TNG/SNW tell a complete story per-episode with some wider arcs holding seasons together. That works and is the only trek I can enjoy. The PIC/DISC format invites lazy writing and breaks suspension of disbelief, which is needed to appreciate trek.
You don't think that enemies of the state using technology to subtly influence members os our western society to turn them against the system is an analogy to how bot farms in China/Russia work in real life?
Wouldn’t you say the second season was a take on bringing real world problems into Star Trek context? The dystopia reality is an authoritarian regime founded on racism, and the planet is dying from ignored climate change, only barely being held together by essentially giant force fields in the sky.
If anything I found it a bit too on the nose for Trek, though that impression might be colored by this being the first real life issue of my time that is a topic in Trek. When old Trek shows aired the first time I was just a little kid and missed most of those; so I can’t relate as much.
